Police Treatment Centres re-open
28 April 2021
The Police Treatment Centres (PTC) re-opened their doors on Monday having been temporarily forced to close due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The PTC will once again be able to support the police family but will be running at a reduced capacity.
The charity has confirmed that the wellbeing of staff and patients is the priority and it will be doing everything it can to create a relaxing but safe environment for residential attendees.
The Psychological Wellbeing Programme at the centres will be running at normal capacity, but reduced numbers will be treated through the Physiotherapy Programme.
Those staying at the centres will not be able to be joined by their families at the weekend due to current restrictions and hospitality bed and breakfast weekends will not be taking place.
The re-opening of the centres coincides with the hand-over of the new Clinical Services Wing, a multi-million-pound project that will increase the number of bedrooms at the Harrogate centre by 20. Work on the refurbishment has continued over lockdown and will also provide extra counselling rooms, new complementary therapy rooms and an increased clinical workshop space and meeting facilities.
The centres are contacting all of those who have had residential treatment cancelled due to the pandemic. However, if you believe you should have received a phone call and have not, then you are advised to contact their Admissions Team.
The Police Treatment Centres support present and past employees of the police, as well as their loved ones, with treatment for psychological and physical injuries, conditions or illnesses.
Officers currently make a donation from their pay of £1.80 per week to subscribe to the PTC.
